Album: Mercedes Nicole - Constellations.

Mercedes Nicole - Constellations.

Produced by Mercedes Nicole

The first time you hear Seattle songstress Mercedes Nicole sing, you may wonder if you are hearing a newly-discovered track from a legendary singer of yore-Sarah Vaugh, perhaps? Or Dinah Washington? But soon it becomes clear
that, while this long-gloved, bare-shouldered singer evokes visions of a world of cocktail gowns and cabarets, her music and vision are fresh, creative, and all her own. Constellation,

her fourth release, takes the regionally well-known jazz singer in a new direction. This is the blues album she has wanted to make for years, and she spared nothing on the recording of it. This album features the best artists of Seattle’s formidable jazz and blues scene. This album is well-named, a constellation of talent, a constellation of brilliant songs sung from the heart.
